The bills are no longer pending and we are currently on the hook to pay the extra $3,000 for out of network bills in addition to my normal $7,000 OOP max. Yuck! I called the hospital and insurance and they are going to re-review the charges. If that doesn't change anything they said I can appeal... I'm not sure how successful that is.

I'm also not sure all the bills have been submitted yet, more may pop up.

Super bummer than I made such good progress on debt this month and then next month our debt is going to go back up by at least $7,000 again. That same thing happened back in October. We had positive net worth and then we had to take out $7,000 in loans. Oh well. One day we will get ahead.

Plan is still to pay off the construction loan asap and then we will be down to just medical debt. I already have some money put back for March payments.

I'm going back to work next week. Little sad/worried but also ready to have money again and get out of the house.
